Is the White House behind attempts to silence Glenn Beck?

There’s something fishy about the concerted effort of the left to silence Glenn Beck. And these days, all things fishy lead back to the White House. flag@whitehouse.gov

Townhall’s Meredith Jessup dug into the groups behind a campaign to take Glenn Beck’s show off the air.

But what seems like a small snuff to Beck from one organization for his personal comments on-air may actually be part of something much larger.  The name appearing on ColorofChange’s press release is Brandon Hatler, an employee of  New York public relations firm Sunshine, Sachs & Associates (SS&A) who represents names like Ben Affleck, Morgan Freeman, Leonardo DiCaprio and Justin Timberlake, “among other A-list celebrities.”  SS&A also manages media relations for for Green for All, a “social justice” organization “working to build an inclusive green economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty.”  Turns out that Obama’s newly-appointed “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones founded and operates Green for all and is a co-founder of the ColofofChange organization. [...]

When you connect all the dots, a current member of the Obama administration is a co-founder of an organization enlisting the help of a high-power New York PR firm to get a conservative commentator off the air.  And all the while the Left is giddy with excitement over the prospects of Glenn Beck signing-off.  Who are the “sick, twisted freaks” now?

Talk about Orwellian!

One would think a rational media would be all over this story. If they can do it to Beck, they can do it to anyone. Had a member of the Bush administration been connected to groups trying to silence Keith Olbermann, you can bet your sweet bippy we’d still be hearing about it today.

On a slightly related note, the FCC’s new Diversity Officer wants private broadcasters to fund public broadcasters dollar for dollar! Private broadcasters are profitable because they deliver a product (mostly conservative commentary) that people want. Public broadcasters need public funds to survive because they deliver a product (mostly liberal drivel) that nobody wants. This is insanity.
